Either use <span></span> to hold your date (removing the <div>) or change the divs to use display: inline-block. Either one will make the two display side by side.
Divs are block elements by default which means they don't lie side by side unless you style them to do so.

Well, why don't you put the text "Lorem ipsum" and the date in one div. For example,

<div id="pdate">Lorem ipsum- 14 Jan 2011</div>

Shouldn't that fix the problem?
